When the sun rose, Xiao Pao and the rest had already changed into their new clothes and were waiting for the Zhou family to arrive.

Today, it was rare for Xiao Xiuer to wear a floral jacket, and she was even dressed up carefully by the He's with her silver tael of Hanging Powder.

Seeing Xiao Xiuer like this, Xiao Hu frowned, if not for being afraid of ruining her reputation, with Xiu Er's looks, she would have been able to give away more than 100 taels of silver to be her concubine. What a pity!

Xiao Xiuer did not look shy at all. She thought she would be very scared, but the closer they got to each other, the calmer she became. She had practiced everything in her heart hundreds of times before, and she was not afraid of anything.

It was said that Zhou Yanxing was very sick, and his family had already brought him to the Regional Palace to find a doctor. Therefore, Zhou Yanxing would definitely not appear on the delivery slip, and the Zhou family would definitely find a good excuse to hide the reason why Zhou Yanxing could not appear!

If not for his eldest sister-in-law, Xiao Xiuer would probably have acted like his parents and thought that what his third uncle said was true. Right now, he was happily waiting for the Zhou Family to send him the order, Xiao Xiuer sneered in his heart.

Time passed slowly. The noise and cheers of a child could be heard. Everyone could not help but sit up straight. The Zhou family had arrived!

Sure enough, a group of children rushed in. "The groom is here!"

"The carriage is coming!"

"Oh, oh. Here comes the nice ones!"

A rare smile appeared on Xiao Li's disease's face as he ordered Xiao He: "Go and take a look at the door!"

"Sigh!" Xiao He laughed as he walked towards the main entrance.

A carriage slowly approached. On the shaft of the carriage was a man wearing a short robe and a small hat. He lightly shook the horsewhip and pulled the reins. With a "whoosh", the carriage came to a halt.

A man wearing a blue one-piece and a square cloth came down from the carriage, followed by a woman wearing a peach-colored flowery skirt. The man wearing a hat was the coachman, so he took out a gift from the back of the carriage and followed the main house into the Xiao family courtyard.

When Xiao He saw the person who came, he could not help but be stunned. Normally, a son-in-law would personally come to deliver information, but why was it Zhou Yanxing's big brother, Zhou Yangui? Who was the woman beside him? Judging from her age, could she be Zhou Yangui's wife?

Without thinking much, Xiao He walked up to welcome him: "It's been hard on you. Come, let's sit inside."

Zhou Yangui immediately said: "Please enter first!"

As the Zhou family entered the Xiao family's courtyard, the crowd began to discuss among themselves. There were rumors that the Zhou family was indeed wealthy, and there were even carriages with coachmen. How grand! Some people said that Xiu Er would go to the town to enjoy his happiness, and some people said how the Zhou family sent news that the one who came was not the bridegroom.

In short, there was a lot of discussion and people even followed them into the courtyard. It was rare to see such a lively scene in the village, and now everyone wanted to join in on the fun.

Zhou Yangui and his wife Yu's entered the room laughing, the carriage driver put down the load, and placed the boxes of gifts on the table. Seeing the beautifully packaged gift boxes, the villagers who were watching the fun couldn't help but exclaim in admiration.

It was rare for Xiao Li's disease to be happy, he even let the children who came to watch the fun throw two candy bars, causing them to not be able to leave the Xiao family's courtyard.

Zhou Yangui and the Yu's sat down and handed over the notice. They talked about the marriage three days later with the Xiao Pao, and since they had finished talking about it already, it would not be a problem for them to fill in some details. Xiao Xiuer and Zhang Shi were sitting inside the room, but when Xiao Xiuer heard the rest of the people from the Xiao Pao not mentioning why Zhou Yanxing did not come to deliver the gift, he could not help but sneer, pulling over Zhang Shi and said a few words softly.

After the pleasantries, Zhou Yangui asked the Xiao family if they had any other requests.

Just as Xiao Li's disease was about to say "no", he suddenly heard a shaky voice from outside the door: "Could you tell me, relatives, why is it that your son-in-law isn't here?"

It was the Zhang Clan Leader, whose soft and trembling voice made Xiao Li's disease raise his eyebrows. This b * tch, he actually dared to be so careless in front of an outsider!

Zhou Yangui glanced at Yu's, and Yu's smiled gently: "Speaking of family jokes, this third brother of mine is really impatient towards us ladies, from yesterday, he did not wake up to inspect the gifts today, and now that he is very cold today, accidentally got a bit hot from the cold, for fear of delaying the engagement, let Third Brother drink medicine at home to recuperate, and let me and his big brother come over, I hope that our big brother can forgive us for this, he is infatuated with us ladies!"

Everyone laughed. Xiao Pao even asked, "Is your son-in-law's illness alright?"

"Don't worry, don't worry, the doctor said that I've caught a cold. I was just going to drink some ginger soup and sweat it out. Grandma even carefully gave way to take two medicines and ate them, so it wouldn't be good for me to come over myself. Old master, please don't blame me!"

"But how come I heard that Zhou Yanxing is currently treating tuberculosis in the Regional Palace?" Xiao Xiuer pulled open the curtain and walked out from the room and asked loudly.

Xiao Xiuer then walked towards Zhou Yangui and the others and blessed herself, before asking loudly: May I ask what brother's sister-in-law, Guest House's Doctor Du, has to say? Is there any way to treat Zhou Yanxing's phthisis? "

Hearing the words "Doctor Du", the crowd burst into an uproar. Doctor Du was their famous doctor, if the Zhou Family really had invited Doctor Du to visit them, then even if Zhou Yanxing was not phthisic, he would definitely not be an ordinary disease.

Xiao Li's disease said, "Xiu Er, a girl like you, what are you doing here? Third Brother's Wife, quickly help your niece in. Was she bewitched by the fact that she didn't sleep well yesterday? "

However, Xiao Xiuer kept staring at Zhou Yangui and Yu's, not letting them go, and asked again, "Did Zhou Yanxing really have tuberculosis? "If I really suffer from a cold, I'll have my father pack his belongings and pay a visit to your house!"

The corner of Zhou Yangui's eyes twitched, and he did not dare meet Xiao Xiuer's gaze. Yu's clenched her teeth, and forced herself to say smiley face: "Sister Xiu Er, what are you saying? His third brother had just caught a cold, and his mother had carefully invited a doctor. How did this become a case of consumption? How could this be nonsense? Your granny, I think this Xiu Er girl really didn't sleep well. She's so weird, just like my aunt when she was in a daze, let's quickly find a doctor! "

Second brother, quickly go and get a doctor. Xiu Er was stunned and started talking nonsense!

Xiao He looked at Xiao Xiuer, then looked at his own mother. His eyes were filled with bewilderment and helplessness. Xiao Xiuer raised his head and looked at Xiao He.

Yu's could not help but stand up: "Oh my god, you are truly bewitched. My dear grandmother, why aren't you looking for someone to come with you!"

The He's had already rushed forward and grabbed Xiao Xiuer. Xiao Xiuer struggled with all her might as she shouted towards Zhang Clan and Xiao He, "Father, Mother, are you really going to watch me send myself to my death? Do you believe what they said, that Zhou Yanxing had only suffered from a cold, and had to receive orders from someone in his stead? "If he still doesn't show up on the day of our wedding, you'll have to watch me crash my head into the Zhou Mansion until I die."

After Xiao Xiuer shouted, she turned and stared at Zhou Yangui and Yu's: "All of you open your eyes and lie to me, I, Xiao Xiuer, will not let your Zhou Family go as you wish, at worst, we will just beat the crap out of you!" Her eyes were red and filled with hatred, causing Zhou Yangui to perspire from his forehead. Yu's was also unable to sit still, she and Zhou Yangui were forced by her family to such an extent, and they had a guilty conscience. At this moment, the two of them had such expressions on their faces and they were sweating profusely. The onlookers felt guilty!

The Xiao Li's disease and the Xiao Pao were furious and anxious, the Xiao Li's disease urged Xiao He to hurry up and go to Wei Jia Village. The He's immediately covered Xiao Xiuer's mouth with a handkerchief and dragged him inside the house.

Just then, Zhang Shi rushed out with her scissors in a crazed manner, fiercely thrusting it towards He's, causing He's to immediately let go of her hand in fright. Like an old hen, she placed Xiao Xiuer behind her, raised the scissors, and shouted at Zhou Yangui and Yu's in a different tone: "Zhou Yanxing has tuberculosis? Where is he? "Where is it?"

Then, he turned to Xiao Hu and asked: "Third uncle, didn't you say that you went to the Zhou Mansion? Was Zhou Yanxing good or bad? "If he doesn't get phthisis, then tell him to come right now and come right away. I have to see him with my own eyes, or else no one can marry my daughter out, no one can!"

Zhang Shi who was forced to the end of the line, completely erupted, like a crazy lioness, waving her scissors, not allowing anyone to get close to Xiao Xiuer!

Suddenly, a voice came from the crowd. "The third son of the Zhou family is suffering from consumption. He can smell the medicine in his surroundings!"

"That's right, that's right. If they really do feel cold, who needs someone else to send them a message? Unless you can't get up! "

Some said that Zhou Yanxing must have got phthisis, some said that the Zhou Family was not kind, and dared to lie to their relatives when they were sick, and some said that the Xiao Family did not even want to ask, and said that Xiao Xiuer was a demon.

The faces of Xiao Li's disease, Xiao Pao and the others darkened. The children in the courtyard also shouted, "The Zhou family is deceiving us!"

"The Zhou family is cheating on us!"

"His family has the phthisis. Leave quickly, be careful not to spread it!"

"AHH! Wait for me! I don't want to get consumption!"

Zhou Yangui could no longer sit still. Not only was his forehead covered with sweat, Yu's did not have the face to say it again.

The two of them stood up in embarrassment. Zhou Yangui cupped his hands towards Xiao Pao and said with difficulty: "Um, Master Li Rou, this marriage, aiya!" Zhou Yangui who could not say anything immediately turned around and rode on the carriage like a fleeing rat with Yu's and the carriage driver!

Xu Hui smiled slightly. Wang Daniu's execution ability was not bad, no matter if it was the adults shouting or the children jeering, all of their actions were just right. She should add another chicken leg to Wang Daniu's chicken leg!

Even though Xiao Pao and Xiao Li's disease were trying their best to remedy the situation, they could not withstand the rapid spread of these rumors. In just a day, not only Xiao Jia Village, even the entire town had been affected.
